Just found this to be really amazing. If only I could use the calculator this fast.. I would save so much time on my maths papers lol. Another video: This one is where the people instantly type out whatever they hear on the TV, providing LIVE subs. Was wondering if there were any other videos of such fast apm that isn't related to gaming  | ||

Other instruments depend on way more things than how fast you can move your fingers downward. And 16th notes at 150 bpm might be easy for shredders, but doing that for a length of time for a piece that requires a lot of musicianship (aka not for the sole purpose of speed) is actually pretty tough. Piano players get all those flurries of notes because they can sustain that speed pretty easily, but when we get into the other instruments it really depends on the piece. Playing in C/F/G with a lot of step-wise motion is waaaaay easier than playing in a less-used key with a lot of leaps on most instruments. I mean I'm not trying to say shredding is bad to listen to, but it's not a good basis for judging "serious musicians." If we take an up tune for jazz players (~220 bpm), that's like as fast you'll be playing 8th notes, which of course translates to a "slower" 16th-note. Ok its 3am, I do this shit for a living, I could go on for days... I'm just gonna hit post... | ||

I teach for a lving! edit: but its 95% classical, the other stuff is just skills ive picked up over the years/when I first started playing You have made a good choice, nothing beats classical guitar. And it´s true about shredding, while it´s fast it still requires much less than those pianopieces, it´s all about repeating/triads on those same few scales, of course there are exceptions. Jazz players are freaks but IMO even it loses something when going too fast. Wes Montgomery now that is something. | ||

then of course you have the insane freaks like john mclaughlin, greg howe, shawn lane, and guthrie govan whose lines easily rival any key players'. i personally like the fusion style of shredding best, but paul gilbert always has a place in my heart also, 16th notes at 150 bpm really isn't that hard. i would hardly call myself anything approaching a shredder but doing scale runs at that speed is simple, so i would think that 2 handed keyboard spamming should be able to exceed 600 apm pretty easily for any longtime starcraft player. anyways the point i was trying to make is that the simple mechanical motion of your fingers being able to spam over 800 apm isn't impossible at all when you look at some pretty average finger speed from some guitar players | ||

sadly i have reached the limit of my calculator abilities and it's not limited by me.. but by the calculator. there's this really dumbass policy in university of waterloo that you're only allowed to use one of 2 calculators. one is of no use to me and the other registers the clicks too slowly. all too often (this is very noticeable with doubletaps like 11 or 22) the second tap won't register. it REALLY pisses me off. i know it's not me making a mistake because on my old crappy casio calculator, that never ever *ever* happens. plus i can do it such that you distinctly hear two taps but only one number appears. it's really pathetic whoever engineered this garbage calculator. imagine if you had to slow down your double clicks on the mouse.... so yeah, fuck you waterloo and approve some non-shitty calculators. thanks. | ||

Keep in mind those insanely fast quarter notes are OCTAVES and sometimes triads and chords, from BOTH hands. Just a rough estimation from windows clock, but she's playing at around 11 bpm so 11 x 4 that's 44 notes per second. The clap guy was 14 claps per second, the stamping lady was 6 stamps per second roughly, and the calculator lady was 10 key strokes per second tops. Piano players > all in terms of raw APM. 44 x 60 = 2640, beats July's 800 apm easy anyday. | ||

notice how especially the last half of the video sounds like his guitar is farting. the official video with the replaced audio sounds like ass anyways, even at 170 bpm none of his notes are clearly defined. http://www.petrucciforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=700071&postcount=95 there's a great post by willjay where he slows down the audio and video and shows that della vega only picks about 3 out of 4 notes, while just sliding around and fumbling the rest. hmmm... scratch that, it appears guinness DOES have a world record for speed, but it's not della vega lol. this is what real 20nps (which is what della vega claims to be playing) sounds like at 2:38, he starts playing alternating groups of 6s and 9s (sextuplets and nontuplets), alternate picked and string skipping. its about 20.4 notes per second, you can check his own transcription in Power Licks (this is an instructional video), its example 54 on page 35. | ||
